We have the power to change the world! African Americans spend over 1 trillion dollars every year! That makes Black America one of the largest economies in the world. That means a BLACKOUT on Friday has the potential to pour 2.7 billion dollars back into our community every week and out of the pockets of those who are not members of our community.

In order for the BLACKOUT to be effective, it must be sustained. Post your participation using the social media hashtag #EachandEveryFriday at Facebook or Twitter:

This is a simple campaign.

STEP 1 - Invest

SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES - Currently, only 5% of Black Dollars are spent with Black businesses! We must transfer OUR money and wealth back into OUR businesses and communities to gain more control. Find Black Businesses Here.

STEP 2 - Divest

DO NOT SHOP | DO NOT BUY | WITHDRAW your money from corporations, businesses and institutions that play a role in the destruction and decay of our communities. Commit and spend your money with Black businesses or don't spend at all at least 1 day a week.

STEP 3 - CREATE 1 MILLION JOBS AND MORE!

A recent study revealed that if African-American households with an annual income of $75,000 or more increased their spending with Black businesses from 3% to 10%, it would create 1 million jobs in our community.

Imagine if we go "all in" and commit to this movement each and every week, minimum one day per week! If not now, then when? If not you, then who? The time is NOW!
